Letter to Congressional Leaders Transmitting a Report on Anti-Satellite Arms Control

March 12, 1991

Dear Mr. Speaker: (Dear Mr. President:)

In accordance with section 1009 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Years 1990 and 1991 (Public Law 101 - 189), enclosed is a report on Anti-Satellite (ASAT) Arms Control. The report addresses the desirability of an agreement with the Soviet Union that would impose limitations on ASAT capabilities. The assessment also includes a determination whether a ban or other limitations would be in the national interest of the United States.

The unclassified version of this report will be forwarded at a later date under separate cover.

Sincerely,

George Bush

Note: Identical letters were sent to Thomas S. Foley, Speaker of the House of Representatives, and Dan Quayle, President of the Senate.
